Yes. The weekend smell is drifting up to you. In 48 short hours, you’ll be wearing your favorite tank top, tossing back beers and forgetting about that meeting where Carla made that bitchy face at you when you mentioned the coffee filter needing to be replaced every time someone uses it. Everyone knows it’s you, Carla. Don’t be like that.
TANK TOPS. BEERS. THE EIGHTIES. It’s all shooting around your mind like a ninja turtle on a Mattel hover-board and eating spaghetti-os out of your Chip and Dale thermos. And this is your inspired soundtrack. It’s not from the eighties, but it sure sounds like it.
Futurecop! remixes a catchy pop song to make it acceptable and even more dance-able, The Hood Internet smashes up a hip-hop anthem and some Casio inspired TNGHT craziness to make some “Gooooo”, and Aeroplane gets remixed to sound like something delicious Prince and Daft Punk collaborated on (IF ONLY).

Sure it’s only Monday night, but if your week is anything like mine you need something to carry you through, so here’s a mix to get you to the end of you week. Start off with a new track from youngster producer Madeon called “Icarus”. Next up a remix of the most annoying Foster the People song (my opinion) by the most unannoying Futurecop! (fact)–the outcome is good. Thirdly an excellent mix by the enigmatic London producers Monarchy. Followed up by StB favorite Gold Panda’s take on Luke Abbott’s “Brazil”. And lastly HEALTH’s haunting remix of Crystal Castles’s “Suffocation”. Enjoy your week!
Fav Tracks, Post-Hardcore, Remix
Futurecop! continue their childlike whimsicality with another outside the box remix this time of post-hardcore troupe Funeral For a Friend. Yet another stellar piece from the electronic duo. Be sure to check out their recent “The Movie OST” if you haven’t already HERE.
Funeral For a Friend – “You Want Romance (Futurecop! Remix.)”
The masters of nostalgia Futurecop! are back with a new album. Technically their first full length, the LP is due out January 23rd on Kiez Records. “Northern Lights” is our first taste of what is to come. Enjoy!

I know I am late on this one…about a year, but nonetheless the music styling of Robots With Rayguns has made life a bit more pleasurable as of late. I came across RWR recently when Futurecop! used “Sugarbaby” in a mix. My ears immediately perked up to the nostalgic synths and infectious melody, I had to hear more from these robots and their rayguns. I soon found out there is only one robot, Lucas Patrick Smith of Phoenix and that he released a full length of original material last year entitled Electro Isn’t Dead. Similar to his 80′s electronic brethren Futurecop!, Smith’s work is similar to a time machine–of the Delorean variety–that transports you to a wonderful time when colors were all neon and TV’s were all grainy. Check out some choice tracks below. Head HERE for more on Robots With Rayguns.

Great weekend mix for you: Both the Cults and Sun Airway tracks deserve posts all their own, but I’m sure we’ll be talking more about them soon enough. Two remixes from two of my favorites Fear of Tigers and Futurecop!, one of up-and-coming singer Queen of Hearts and one of StB fav The Naked and Famous. And top it off with a duo that just hit my radar Icona Pop. Enjoy!
Sun Airway – “Wild Palms”
Queen of Hearts – “Where Are You Now? (Fear of Tigers Remix)”
Icona Pop – “Top Rated”
The Naked and Famous – “Young Blood (Futurecop! Remix)”
Ever want to break out your toy collection of Thundercats and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and play with them while watching The Neverending Story trilogy? Futurecop! does. The UK synthpop duo are obsessed with 80’s pop culture and memorialize it by creating fantasy-filled electronic music that could easily replace the original soundtrack of The Transformers movie (the original animated one). Their music will take you back in time when worries were few and synthesizers were aplenty. Trust me you’ll like it. If nothing else, their MySpace page is worth checking out for a trip down memory lane. Keep an eye out for them.
